More Obama "Flair" ...
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 5:20 PM

The Great Seal of Obamaland?

... It's scary, but true:

"Just above the eagle’s head are the words “Vero Possumus,” roughly translated “Yes we can.” Not exactly E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One), the motto on the presidential seal and the dollar bill. Then again, Mr. Obama is not the president."

This is entirely appropriate....
....given that Obama himself is nothing but a trained seal.
My Pet Goat writes: Sunday, June, 22, 2008 11:59 AM
I remember.....
....Between November 7, 2000 and the day Daddy's appointees to the Supreme Court annointed Little Boy Bush to become the President, every time W appeared on any stage in front of any audience with any camera, he was SURROUNDED with American flags.

Turn about it fair play, Neo-Cons!

Obama Seal???
Look, I don't know very much about this guy but one thing is very true, he WILL pull the race card every chance he gets and he has one BIG ego!!

McCain the Dem/lib Repub will win, don't worry be happy. There are plenty of people with malleable principles who will vote for him. Don't be afraid. I mean, be afraid - vote McCain.

the Obamas will fix America !

Well, not only do Michelle and Barack have a plan to "fix America's broken souls," they also have a plan to "fix America's broken Presidential seal" !

Hey, but we shouldn't worry, because both the hard left wingers and the anti-McCain hard right wingers assure us that Obama is not all that bad---that he's nothing to fear.

So, when our taxes are raised, when our nation's enemies are appeased, when Israel is wiped off the map by Iran, and after a couple of radical left wing nuts are confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, we should all just applaud because it is merely an attempt to "fix our souls."

As Bobby McFerrin recommends, "Don't worry, be happy."

Newsweek poll skewed...
I'm surprised it's only a 15-point lead in the Newsweek poll, since they only surveyed 22% Republicans. Pretty easy to get the skewed result you want if you start out with skewed samples... but, then I'd expect no less from the leading Obama propaganda machine.

I said third most narcissistic.
Incidentally, the top two most narcissistic images that are officially part of the Barack Obama campaign (and yes, the "Great Seal" above is also an official part of the Obama campaign, not a fan-made item):

#2. The "Dear Leader" style poster seen here:

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/03/14/obamessiah-signs-and-w onders/


#1. A copy of Obama's "More Perfect Union" speech, complete with faux-leather case that looks like a copy of the Holy Scriptures, available for a low price on Obama's official website here.

Olympic Obama

"Those tuning in to NBC Sports' Olympics coverage this year will see spots from General Motors, McDonald's, Budweiser, Nike and - just maybe - Sen. Barack Obama," Ad Age reports.

"Though the Obama campaign is keeping mum about whether it will definitely run spots, it has asked NBC Universal about Olympics advertising including $500,000, $2 million and $4 million packages of ads. (NBC presented those along with a $10 million package.) It's not only a sign that the Obama camp has faith it can continue its stellar fundraising achievements but a signal that a widening field of battleground states has the candidate contemplating national broadcast buys."

Polls generally have a +/- of 2-3% margins of error...Monkey Girl can't handle the truth...she covers her eyes on all other polls and runs screaming to fing the newsweek one...and she has triple strength rose-colored glasses,
Perceptor II writes: Saturday, June, 21, 2008 8:25 AM
Kimmy, Kimmy, Kimmy
Taking the one poll that shows by far the largest lead for Obama. The Newsweek poll is so far off the other polls that one must conclude that it is in error, especially when you consider is has the smallest sample size and is thus the most prone to error. An aggregate of the polls shows a much smaller lead, one that is by no means insurmountable. But continue to pick and choose your own facts while ignoring others. We'd expect nothing more from you.

Its a drawing.
Critize BO over his wrong positions on abortion and gay marriage and stuff that is truly appalling.

Not for some stupid drawing made by some excited supporter forseeing the coming BO victory, if McCain doesn't straighten out his problem with values voters which would consist of admiting he was complete wrong about everything they disagree with him on and vowing to support their issues.

Never gonna happen? I think the same could be said about McCain getting the votes from those people.

But what they wanted the media and the politicans told them was not "electable". John McCain however they said was super "electable". So these millions of people who are the same ones who turn out wins for Republican Presidents aren't needed this time.

So I hope everyone remembers that there is no need for grassroot support and no need for your vote either. The candidate is "electable".

Sen. Obama & the North American Union?
Barack Obama YOU HAVE SAID NOTHING about the N A U (SPP.GOV). You MUST know this “business deal” was done by Pres. Bush with his friend, confidant & past Pres. of Mexico, V. Fox. This quietly done "deal" was ORALLY solidified at the Bush ranch. It was never debated by the legislature or told to American citizens. We now see plans for a Super Highway, where thousands of acres of tax payer property will be confiscated through (the Kelo vs New London Court rule) eminent domain process. PRIVATE PROPERTY IS CENTRAL TO THE FREEDOM AMERICANS ENJOY. The N A U- “NAFTA Super Highway” deal negates this basic, American right to own, retain, safeguard and preserve property owned by families, in many cases, for generations. The NAU, surreptitiously done by President Bush in 2005, with NO debate or vetting by the legislature, completely disenfranchised Americans of any knowledge of or say in the matter. It is the equal of a virtual coup in surrendering U.S. sovereignty to a trilateral entity that, in the form of a N A U, could equal the European Union that dictates to the citizens of 27 European states. Senator, you need to tell Americans your position on preserving U.S. Sovereignty. The N.A.U., if actively denounced in your campaign, could win you the presidency. Your opponents have never talked of this vital issue - - meanwhile the Bush admin. is proceeding as thought this private scheme is a “done deal”. America is watching, listening & waiting to see how you stand on this critical matter. P.S. House Concurrent Resolution 40 states Congressional DISAPPROVAL of the NAFTA Highway & N A U. You are NOT among the 48 COSPONSORS of the bill. Why? Ron Paul introduced H.R. 5191, prohibiting use of federal funds for N A U highway projects. Back this bill & show you support the sovereignty, independence & freedom of America.

"Uh...Newsweek?
An Obama worshipping radical left-wing rag? So what?

Yes we can -- lie."

It must be nice being a con. When things don't go your way, there's always an excuse.

Those liberals are so manipulating, eh? Taking us to war under false pretenses and all. No wait...

WTF!
Take a look at who's playing the race card:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080620/pl_nm/usa_politics_obam a_race_dc_1

The good section is the following:

"'It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy,' Obama told a fundraiser in Jacksonville, Florida. 'We know what kind of campaign they're going to run. They're going to try to make you afraid.

"'They're going to try to make you afraid of me. He's young and inexperienced and he's got a funny name. And did I mention he's black?'"

He said he was also set for Republicans to say "'he's got a feisty wife,'" in trying to attack his wife Michelle.

"'We know the strategy because they've already shown their cards. Ultimately I think the American people recognize that old stuff hasn't moved us forward. That old stuff just divides us,'" he said.

The only taking about race is Obama. Get past it.

Regarding his wife, today, it finally dawned on me who Michelle Obama reminds me of...Aunt Esther from the 1970s sitcom "Sanford and Son." That sour disposition is right on the money.

To remind you:

There are no words -- Barack HUSSEIN noBama is even more arrogant, elite, self-serving and cooler than John Kerry could ever have imagined -- It`s all about BHO -- It is very possible he will raise more than half a BILLION dollars to buy his presidency --
Accept Public Financing and be on an even playing field with his opponent? -- Not for Barry -- He is already playing President and the world awaits --
God help us all --

If that doesn't say elitism and Marxism what does? Listen to his self important airy rhetoric,you hear alot of "that's unexceptable to me""we must demand" "mandate""take control of" .There's more much more . Who runs this country anyway? We do. They all work for us.Why then is Congress not doing the will of the people? Because they are ignoring us ,the majority, the ruling masses. How's that feel? People we eleceted and pay to just do 2 things :

#1 Keep us safe.
#2 Stay out of our lives.

Ha! Office Space
Flair is the best way to describe it.

Yes We Can:

- Promise one thing and do something else

- Talk "change" while running a slick, controlled, status-quo, secretive political machine

- Stiff-arm the press, and still receive glowing coverage

- Talk bi-partisan reform, while voting strictly along party lines

- Blame your moral shortcomings on your opponent's 527s that don't actually exist

- Benefit from sleazy partisan groups like MoveOn

Well, good thing I am a graphic designer. I am going to make my own seal.

I think that this is extremely dis-respectful and little jumping the gun.

It may not be the seal, but very close.
